Christianity versus Chinese philosophies


"Christianity versus Chinese philosophies"

There are many types of teachings and religions in this world and each has their own patterns, way of living and beliefs. Let us take a look at two types of religion or belief in this world: and that is Christianity and Chinese beliefs. I believe that these two beliefs are really contradict to each other by their ways and philosophies.

Christianity means believing in Christ and having Christ in our lives as our personal lord an savior. Being a christian means having one God or being monotheistic. We also believe in the Trinity meaning that there is one God but appears in three persons. Christians also believe in the Bible where God's words are written. They also believe that there is one omnipotent, omnipresent and powerful God. This is the belief of Christianism.

On the other hand, Chinese philosophies has 3 aspects: Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism.
Each one of them has their own ways and beliefs. Confucianism beliefs are based on the teachings of Confucius. Taoism beliefs are based on the teachings of Lao Tu and Legalism beliefs are based on the teachings of Hanfeizi. That proves that Chinese people have many beliefs and religions which is very opposite to the belief and teachings of Christianity. Another example is the belief of Chinese people that inhabitants of this world should just go with the flow. That is very contradicting to the belief of the Christians because Christians are going and living against this sinful world.

Many are still debating about all of these teachings and beliefs but then, all I can say ais I'm blessed that I'm a Christian and I will never replace Christianism as my belief end religion with any other beliefs and religions in this world. ☺
